003: under [garage] door shelving cabinet #3: shelves

With the carcass hung on the wall, I turned to the cheapest 1/2” BC plywood I could find at Home Depot for making the shelves. I’m trying this new thing where I don’t blow through wads of cash on utility projects and hair-brained schemes. They were pretty warped and ugly, but cutting them down to 23” (22-7/8” actual) x 16” got rid of most of the problems. These are utility shelves, so a little warp is okay by me.

Here’s me cutting the 12 shelves from the 6 sheets:

And here’s some stuff on some shelves. I’m already feeling relieved just with this small amount out of the way. I can’t count how many times I’ve moved the stuff on the bottom shelves in the last year. They’re always stacked in my way somewhere.

I’m making organization look just like clutter!

Next up – doors! I’ve begun work, and they’re coming out well so far.
